Rail surcharges extended to end of 1936
State railroads won an extension of the emergency surcharge on freight until December 31, 1936. The Public Service Commission announced rate changes, cutting coal surcharge from 15 to 10 cents per ton and adjusting prices for coal, fuel, building stone, sand, and gravel. The new rates preserve a one cent per hundred pounds on shipments over $1.10, with exemptions for crushed stone and slag up to $1. The extension followed hearings in shipping centers and included contracts involving American Water Works entities. Floods in Lithuania caused heavy damage.
